DOGE Drops to $0.20 Amid Market Sell-Off, Early Support Signs Emerge
Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 5% from $0.21 to $0.20 as global crypto markets reacted to renewed U.S.–China tariff tensions. President Trump’s proposed 100% tariff plan wiped around $19 billion off crypto valuations, triggering forced liquidations across major digital assets.
Despite the decline, institutional desks report accumulation interest near $0.20, as derivatives open interest resets to mid-September levels. Meanwhile, the House of Doge’s $50M Nasdaq debut via Brag House Holdings continues to underpin the long-term institutional narrative, though short-term flows remain cautious.
Price Action Summary
- DOGE traded in a $0.0117 range (6%) between $0.21 and $0.20 from Oct. 14, 21:00 to Oct. 15, 20:00.
- Morning rally volume spiked to 568.6M before sellers regained control at $0.21.
- The largest liquidation occurred between 13:00–15:00, with 920M turnover as price broke below $0.21.
- A capitulation candle at 19:50 pushed DOGE to $0.20 lows on 12M volume, marking likely exhaustion.
- DOGE stabilized near $0.20 into the close, with reduced volume signaling early signs of renewed demand.
Technical Analysis
- Support: $0.20–$0.202, backed by high-volume accumulation during recent lows.
- Resistance: $0.21–$0.214, capped by morning reversal volume.
- DOGE remains below the 200-day moving average, reflecting short-term weakness, but stable bids and compressed volume at $0.20 suggest potential base formation.
- A reclaim of $0.21 could trigger momentum-driven longs targeting $0.224–$0.228.
- Momentum indicators are oversold, and derivative funding has turned sharply negative on Binance and OKX, conditions often preceding short-covering rallies.
